Call for entries The Classic II Exhibition - Short version.

Electrohype will organize an exhibition with 24 artists presenting works on the Macintosh Classic II computer. The exhibition will take place at Electrohype-ROM in Malmo, Sweden during the period December 1st. 2003 and January 20th. 2004.

The idea is that the exhibition will focus and reflect on the development both in computer based art and the accelerating demands on hardware used to create and present art.

Electrohype will provide the opportunity, and the hardware. The artists are hereby invited to provide the content.

The exhibition has a clear reference to the 1997 exhibition, called "Mac Classics (the immaculate machines)" at the Postmasters Gallery in New York. This exhibition was curated and organized by Tamas Banovich. More info and text about this exhibition can be found on our web site, please follow link in the end of this mail.

Opening Marathon
According to our plan we will organize 24 openings, one for each work, from December 1st. to the 24th. Each day during this period will be an opening for a new work and the exhibition will grow during December. After the opening marathon the exhibition will be on display for 14 days with all works running simultaneously. This might seem like a strange idea but it refers to a Nordic traditional Christmas calendar where you open one window each day in a paper calendar, each window containing a surprise.

Deadline
It is not much time left until the December 1st. So the deadline to contribute to the exhibition will be November 15th. But please feel free to submit material as soon as possible, we continually evaluate the material we receive and do basic testing on our computers

So blow the dust of your old 98030 or 386 and start testing your art. Just remember to step back a few years in version history of the software you would like to use.
